CDC Reports Nearly 24% Decline in U.S. Drug Overdose Deaths
New provisional data from CDCβs National Vital Statistics System predict a 24% decline in overdose
From 2023 to 2024, drug overdose deaths dropped a stunning 24% in just a year from 114k, to just 87k, nearly 30,000 lives. This is almost entirely attributed to a Biden Administration program providing free Narcan.
Naturally, Trump and RFK Jr. just ended the program: www.cdc.gov/media/releas...

A post stating people are not understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, if fewer dollar circulating. The cascade effect is just mind-boggling.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

In the last 24 hours, Trump's Tariffs have wiped out $2.5 TRILLION from the US stock market.
But, hey, at least that one trans woman isn't allowed to play badminton on the girls team anymore and I know how important that was to America.

The very LAST thing I want to see is that cotton candy haired shitbag standing in front of the flag draped caskets giving a thumbs up and that stupid grin for another photo op.
No, go golfing. It's actually less of an insult than showing up.

Trump imposed tariffs on an island inhabited entirely by penguins and that isn't even in the top 10 dumbest things he's done in the last 24 hours. But, hey, we don't have to read about the accomplishments of minorities on the DoD website anymore and I know that was important to a lot of Americans.
